    Ease into it. Because he’s an older puppy and because he’s hard-headed we will be building ways to strengthen your skills while changing his habits. Do what HW 1 says to do, and add in the Leadership Stays – make adjustments to time if it seems to hard at first. Use the leash to keep him from being able to walk away and ignore commands being given to him and remember I said to limit your time to just 5 to 7 minute sessions then give a break for 5 to 7 minutes and then repeat what you did the first session throughout the day or when you can. When your husband gets home, have him work on the same stuff – consistency is the biggest key here and getting everyone on the same page during this big change.
